Project #74386 - Problem Statement

30 Science Tutors Online

The problem statement is only a few sentences, but in order to make this a 1-2 page assignment you are going to need to elaborate on the problem in the form of describing the nature of that problem. The first few paragraphs of the document should explain the extent of the problem and give the reader an idea of how significant or prevalent it is. If you're writing about a disorder, provide some statistics in terms of the prevalence and cost of that disorder. The reader should finish reading your statement thinking that your topic is indeed important and something should be done about it! Use facts and critical review of the literature to make your point, and if there is an alternative point of view, mention it in your introduction with reasons why you do not agree with it.

Remember to provide citations and references, and that APA formatting in your documents count for points on your grade.
